Shoot & Share 2016 Contest – Top 30%

O.K. so here’s the deal. I entered 50 photographs into the Shoot and Share 2016 Contest. There were 225,000 photographs entered into 25 categories. Each category had a Top 30%, Top 20%, Top 10%, Finalists, Top 100, and then the 20th – 1st place.

Even though I didn’t win a category, I’m extremely proud of how I did. I had 21 photographs place which is WAY more than I imagined. I’m going to share my images that made the Top 30% today. They list the ranking of each photograph so some made 21%, just missing the next tier while others were right in the middle or toward the end of the group.

Overall I’m incredibly happy to know that people, random people all over the world, liked my images enough that I was awarded this awesome recognition. I definitely love what I do and can’t wait to keep taking more photographs!!

Inspiration is what I thrive on.

I'm inspired by art, food, the written word.
By my children, my husband and the world around me.

I think that we're all here to contribute to one another with our ideas, our style and even our mundane, day to day ways of being. Sometimes I find inspiration from things that seem completely ordinary, but it's when you allow yourself to see the ordinary things in a new way that inspiration has a chance to spark and burn alive through each one of us.

I hope you enjoy your time here, and if you do, I would love to hear from you either in a comment or a personal note.
